The plurality of slave detection devices 3 are respectively connectedwith the controlling device 2 wirelessly, and the plurality of wirelesstransmission controlling devices 40 are also wirelessly connected withthe controlling device 2. Each of the plurality of slave detectiondevices 3 respectively detects circumstance condition of circumstancearound itself, and generates one or more kinds of detection value totransmit to the controlling device 2.

On the other hand, a supervisor (as the supervisor 6 shown in FIG. 5)can operate the controlling device 2 and set one or more settingparameters. The controlling device 2 calculates the one or more settingparameters and the above mentioned detection value and generates acontrol command. The control command is used to operate and adjustworking modes of the indoor electronic apparatus 4. The controllingdevice 2 transmits the control command to the wireless transmissioncontrolling device 40 in the indoor electronic apparatus 4. The indoorelectronic apparatus 4 receives the control command through the wirelesstransmission controlling device 40 and applies a corresponding workingmode based on the control command. Therefore, the indoor electronicapparatus 4 works in a most comfortable status, and satisfies the demandof the supervisor 6 simultaneously.

It should be mentioned that the circumstance conditions, such astemperature, humidity are varied after the indoor electronic apparatus 4works. As a result, the plurality of slave detection devices 3continually detects, generates and provides the detection value to thecontrolling device 2, and the controlling device 2 continually updatesthe control command based on the received detection value. Therefore,the indoor electronic apparatus 2 can adjust its working mode (forexample, raises/reduces temperature of the indoor air conditioner 41, oradjusts airflow of the HRV 42) according to the updated control commandwithout violating the demand of the supervisor 6 and keep thecircumstance conditions always in a most comfortable status.

The controlling device 2 not only transmits the control command to theindoor electronic device 4, but also receives some information from theindoor electronic apparatus 4. As shown in FIG. 3, the indoor electronicapparatus 4 comprises, for example, the security device 45, such as animage monitoring device or a smoke sensor, etc. When detecting an eventoccur (for example, thick smokes are detected indoor), the securitydevice 45 transmits related information to the controlling device 2.Therefore, the controlling device 2 updates the control command based onthe received information, and operates the indoor electronic apparatus 4to work in a corresponding working mode based on the updated controlcommand. For instance, the controlling device 2 can operate the HRV 42and the indoor air circulator 43 full on and set the airflow to highestairflow through the updated control command, so as to deliver the thicksmokes as soon as possible.

In this embodiment,the plurality of slave detection devices 3 respectively detect andgenerate the detection value continually, and report the detection valueto the controlling device 2 in a certain time or a certain period. Else,the plurality of slave detection devices 3 can also report the detectionvalue to the controlling device 2 whenever a specific event occurs, suchas one of the detection value beyond a threshold.

Inparticularly, the controlling device 2 comprises one or more of thedetection modules 24, the one or more detection modules 24 detectcircumstance conditions around the controlling device 2, and generateone or more detection value based on the detecting result. Therefore,the controlling device 2 can generate the control command based on thedetection value generated from both of the plurality of slave detectiondevices 3 and the detection module 24. As the same as the plurality ofslave detection devices 3, the detection module 24 mainly comprises atleast one of CO2 sensor, temperature sensor, humidity sensor, IR sensor,lighting sensor, air-pressure sensor and airflow sensor. The detectionvalue generated by the detection module 24 comprises at least one of CO2value, temperature value, humidity value, radiant heat value, lightingvalue, air dirty degree value, and airflow value, but not limitedthereto.

The power module 23 is a power transferring unit or a battery to providepower to the controlling device 2.

The HMI 25 accepts operations of the supervisor 6, and generates one ormore setting parameters based on the operation. It is to say, thecontent and the amount of the one or more setting parameters areaccording to the demand of the supervisor 6. For example, the supervisor6 can turn the indoor air conditioner 41 on and set indoor temperaturevia the HMI 25. Another example, the supervisor 6 can also turn theindoor air circulator 43 on and set airflow of the air circulator 43through the HMI 25. The controlling device 2 takes the content of thesetting parameters as reference when generating the control command, sothe indoor electronic apparatus 4 can work under the demand of thesupervisor 6.

The HMI 25 shown in FIG. 5 is exemplified as an input module 251 and adisplay module 252. The supervisor 6 inquires the detection value andthe operating status of the indoor electronic apparatus 4 upon thedisplay module 252, and operates the controlling device 2 through theinput module 251. The input module 251 mainly comprises at least one ofkeyboard, mouse, touchpad, imaging identified device, or voice inputtingdevice. The display module 252 mainly comprises at least one of lightemitting diode (LED) or liquid crystal display (LCD). In anotherembodiment, the HMI 25, however, can be implemented by a single touchscreen, but not limited thereto.

The controlling device 2 establishes a wireless connection with theplurality of slave detection devices 2 through the wireless transmissionmodule 22, and receives the detection value respectively from theplurality of slave detection devices 2. Also, the controlling device 2establishes another wireless connection with the wireless transmissioncontrolling device 40 through the wireless transmission module 22, andtransmits the control command to the wireless transmission controllingdevice 40, so as to make the indoor electronic apparatus 4 worksaccording to the control command.

The wireless transmission module 22 in this embodiment mainly comprisesat least one of Wi-Fi transmission module, Bluetooth transmissionmodule, Zigbee transmission module, or radio frequency (RF) transmissionmodule. The controlling device 2 can comprise one or more wirelesstransmission modules 22 according to the transmission protocol used bythe controlling system. In other words, the controlling device 2 canestablish the wireless connection with the plurality of slave detectiondevices 3 and the wireless transmission controlling device 40 throughsingle wireless transmission module 22 in the meanwhile, but it can alsoestablish the wireless connection with the plurality of slave detectiondevices 3 and the wireless transmission controlling device 40respectively through multiple wireless transmission modules 22, notintended to limit the scope of the present invention.

The indoor electronic apparatus 4 shown in FIG. 3 are exemplified asdifferent types of electronic apparatus. For different types of theindoor electronic apparatus 4, the content of the control commandgenerated by the controlling device 2 may be different in according tothe content of the setting parameter and the detection value. Forexample, the content of the control command can be at least one ofturning on/turning off the indoor electronic apparatus 4, operating rateadjustment, compressor operating frequency adjustment, temperaturesetting, airflow setting or working mode selection, but not limitedthereto. When receiving the control command, the indoor electronicapparatus 4 can adjust its working mode based on the control command, soas to keep the circumstance around in a most comfortable status, andsatisfy the demand of the supervisor 6 in the meanwhile.

The memory module 27 stores an algorithm 271, which is a firmware usedto run specific program codes. The microprocessor 21 of the controllingdevice 2 executes the algorithm 271 based on the received settingparameters and the detection value, and the algorithm 271 generates thecontrol command after calculating the setting parameters and thedetection value. In other words, the algorithm 271 uses the settingparameters and the detection value to generate and optimize the controlcommand.

For an instance, if the supervisor 6 sets indoor temperature to 25degree through the controlling device 2, then the control commandgenerated by the algorithm 271 is supposed to operate the indoor airconditioner 41 to work for adjusting indoor temperature to achieve thetarget of 25 degree. However, people generally feel colder when being ina high humidity circumstance, so if the content of the detection valueindicates that the current humidity of the circumstance around is higherthan standard humidity, the algorithm 271 may adjust the content of thecontrol command based on the content of the detection value, and theadjusted control command possibly operate the indoor air conditioner 41to work for adjusting the indoor temperature only to 26 degree. In thissituation, the supervisor 6 can still feel 25 degree in the highhumidity circumstance (even the indoor temperature is set to be 26degree). As a result, it can satisfy the demand of the supervisor 6 andalso save power of the control system in the meanwhile.

The remote connection module 28 is mainly used to connect thecontrolling device 2 with at least one outer device. As shown in FIG. 5,the controlling device 2 connects to internet through the remoteconnection module 26, and further connects with a monitoring system 51through the internet. In this embodiment, the supervisor 6 operates themonitoring system 51 for inquiring information of the circumstancearound the controlling system of the present invention, and furtheroperates the controlling system remotely through the monitoring system51. For example, the controlling system of the present invention can beconfigured in a room inside of a building, and the monitoring system 51can be a central-controlling system of the building. In this embodiment,the remote connection module 26 is a RJ-45 connector for inserting acable, and the controlling device 2 connects to the internet through thecable inserted in the RJ-45 connector. In other embodiment, the remoteconnection module 26 is a RS-485 connection port, and the controllingdevice 2 connects with the monitoring system 51 directly through theRS-485 connection port, but not limited thereto.

Furthermore, the supervisor 6 can also operate a mobile device 52remotely, wherein the mobile device 52 is connected to the controllingdevice 2 through the internet by way of executing an application program520 installed therein. The controlling system determines if thesupervisor 6 of the mobile device 52 has a setting authority throughverifying identification of the supervisor 6 or verifying a serialnumber of the executed application program 520. After the controllingsystem confirms that the supervisor 6 do have the setting authority, thesupervisor 6 can operate the application program 520 of the mobiledevice 52 to set configurations of the controlling system remotely.

In the present invention, the memory module 27 mainly stores a pluralityof situational models 272 for the supervisor 6 to select. Thesituational models 272 comprises, for example, meeting model, luncheonmodel, midday-rest model, etc. Each of the plurality of situationalmodels 272 is configured in advance and according to one or more of thesetting parameters. Therefore, the supervisor 6 selects one of theplurality of situational models 272 depending on actual demand, and thealgorithm 271 applies the setting parameters corresponding to theselected situational model 271 to generate the control command. In thisexercise, the supervisor 6 doesn't need to do any additional settingsmanually for the setting parameters, and the complicated settingprocedure can be avoided.

For an instance, if the meeting model is selected, depending on thequiet demand of the meeting, the content of the control command for theindoor air conditioner 41 may comprises: (1). turns to air-conditioningmode, (2). set indoor temperature to 27 degree, (3). set airflow to lowairflow; the content of the control command for the heat recoveryventilator 42 may comprises: (1). set recovery frequency to lowfrequency, (2). set airflow to low airflow; and the content of thecontrol command for the indoor air circulator 43 may comprises: (1). setairflow to low airflow. For another instance, if the luncheon model isselected, because food smell is present during lunch, and temperature iseasier raised when people get increased, and quietness is not sonecessary during lunch time, the content of the control command for theindoor air conditioner 41 in this instance may comprises: (1). turns toair-conditioning mode, (2). set indoor temperature to 25 degree, (3).set airflow to high airflow; the content of the control command for theheat recovery ventilator 42 in this instance may comprises: (1). setrecovery frequency to high frequency, (2). set airflow to high airflow;and the content of the control command for the indoor air circulator 43in this instance may comprises: (1). set airflow to high airflow.However, above descriptions are just simple embodiments, not intended tolimit the scope of the present invention.

FIG. 6 is a block diagram of a wireless transmission controlling deviceof a first embodiment according to the present invention. FIG. 6 showsthe indoor air conditioner 41, which comprises an independent controller(not shown), s stepping motor 71, a fan motor 72, etc., and the indoorair conditioner 41 is connected to an air-conditioner outdoor unit 73.The supervisor 6 basically uses the remote control shown in FIG. 1 tooperate the indoor air conditioner 41. The wireless transmissioncontrolling device 40 in this embodiment is embedded in the indoor airconditioner 41, for receiving the control command wirelessly from thecontrolling device 2. The indoor air conditioner 41 in this embodimentoperates the stepping motor 71, the fan motor 72, the air-conditioneroutdoor unit 73 and other internal components based on the receivedcontrol command. Therefore, the indoor air conditioner 41 works in themost comfortable status in most economical way, and also satisfies thedemand of the supervisor 6 in the meanwhile.

As shown in FIG. 6, the wireless transmission controlling device 40mainly comprises a main controlling unit 401, a communication module402, a detection module 403, an imaging module 404, a serialtransmission module 405 and a network module 406, wherein the maincontrolling unit 401 is electrically connected with the communicationmodule 402, the detection module 403, the imaging module 404, the serialtransmission module 405 and the network module 406. The communicationmodule 402 is used to establish the wireless connection with thecontrolling device 2, and receive the control command from thecontrolling device 2. The main controlling unit 401 operates the indoorair conditioner 41 based on the received control command. The networkmodule 406 is used to connect with the internet, and in this embodiment,the supervisor 6 can operate the indoor air conditioner 41 via theinternet without going through the controlling device 2.

The detection module 403 and the imaging module 404 simply detect thecircumstance around the indoor air conditioner 41, and executecorresponding adjustment based on the detecting result. The serialtransmission module 405 is used to connect with the air-conditioneroutdoor unit 73 and transmit the control command (for example,compressor operating frequency adjustment) to the air-conditioneroutdoor unit 73. Because of the existence of the wireless transmissioncontrolling device 40, the indoor air conditioner 41 can be operated notonly by way of the remote control, but also by way of the controllingdevice 2, the above mentioned monitoring system 51 and the mobile device52.

FIG. 7 is a perspective view of a situational model of a firstembodiment according to the present invention. The supervisor 6 can setthe setting parameters through a manual operation on the HMI 25. Else,the supervisor 6 can also do a selection on the HMI 25 for selecting oneof the plurality of situational models 272 provided by the controllingdevice 2, and the controlling device 2 uses the setting parameterscorresponding to the selected situational model 272 to generate thecontrol command.

In this embodiment, the selected situational model 272 (for example, themeeting model mentioned above) is mainly consisted of a pre-operatingsub-model, an operating sub-model and a self-cleaning sub-model. Thepre-operating sub-model is applied in a certain time period before astarting time of the selected situational model 272, the operatingsub-model is applied between the starting time and an ending time of theselected situational model 272, and the self-cleaning sub-model isapplied in another time period after the ending time of the selectedsituational model 272. In other embodiment, the selected situationalmodel 272, however, can only be consisted of the operating sub-model andthe self-cleaning sub-model. And in another embodiment, the selectedsituational model 272 can also be consisted of four or more than foursub-models, but not limited thereto.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 7, the meeting model is selected as theselected situational model 272. After completing the selection, thecontrolling device 2 enters the pre-operating sub-model of the selectedsituational model 272 N minutes before the starting time, and appliesthe one or more setting parameters corresponding to the pre-operatingsub-model of the selected situational model 272. Before the meetingstarts, people not enter a meeting room yet, so CO2 quantity in themeeting room is low. As a result, the controlling device 2 can only turnthe indoor air conditioner 41 on and keep the HRV 42 and the indoor aircirculator 43 off for saving power based on the applied settingparameters in the pre-operating sub-model. It should be mentioned thatthe purpose of the pre-operating sub-model is to adjust the circumstancecondition around the meeting room in advance, so as to reduce theoppressive and hot feeling when people get into the meeting room.

At the starting time of the meeting, or when the plurality of slavedetection devices 3 detect people entrance, the controlling device 2enters the operating sub-model of the selected situational model, andapplies the one or more setting parameters corresponding to theoperating sub-model of the selected situational model 272. In thissub-model, the controlling device 2 adjusts the temperature of theindoor air conditioner 41 based on the applied one or more settingparameters of the operating sub-model and the detection value mentionedabove. In the meanwhile, CO2 quantity in the meeting room may increasebecause of people entrance, so the controlling device 2 can turn the HRV42 and the indoor air circulator 43 on for exchanging indoor and outdoorair to deliver CO2 in the meeting room. However, cold air/hot air willenter the meeting room because of indoor and outdoor air exchange. Whenthe detection value indicates that the temperature of the meeting roomis too low/high, the controlling device 2 may adjust the temperature ofthe indoor air conditioner 41 again and again based on the detectionvalue. For the purpose of power saving, when the detection valueindicates CO2 quantity in the meeting room reduced and below a certainthreshold, the controlling device 2 can turn the HRV 42 off or slow theoperating rate of the HRV 42 based on the detection value.

Finally, at the ending time or when the plurality of slave detectiondevices 3 detect people all leave from the meeting room, the controllingdevice 2 enters the self-cleaning sub-model of the selected situationalmodel 272. In this time, the controlling device 2 applies the one ormore setting parameters corresponding to the self-cleaning sub-model ofthe selected situational model 272, and turns the indoor air circulator43 off, and keeps the indoor air conditioner 41 and the HRV 42 to workin a certain mode that is suitable to clean up dirty air and unpleasantsmell in the meeting room. The controlling device 2 operates the wholecontrolling system to shut down or enter a standby mode after completingevery task.

Above description is just a preferred embodiment, but not intended tolimit the scope of the present invention. The controlling device 2 inthe present invention may provide multiple situational models 272 indifferent types for the supervisor 6 to select. Each type of themultiple situational models 272 is corresponding to different kinds andamount of the setting parameters, and is consisted of different amountof sub-models. Furthermore, each type of the multiple situational models272 may turn on/turn off/adjust different kinds and amount of the indoorelectronic apparatus 4.

FIG. 8 is a flowchart of a situational model of a first embodimentaccording to the present invention. First at all, the supervisor 6 do anoperation on the HMI 25, the monitoring system 51 or the mobile device52 to select one of the plurality of situational models 272 (step S10),and then set a starting time and an ending time of the selectedsituational model 272 (step S12).

Before the starting time, the controlling system of the presentinvention shut down or works in the standby mode (step S14). Thecontrolling device 2 determines if it is N minutes before the startingtime (step S16), if yes, the controlling device 2 enters thepre-operating sub-model of the selected situational model 272 (stepS18), and if no, the controlling device 2 keeps working in the standbymode. The execution limitation of the step S16 depends on the settingparameters corresponding to the selected situational model 272, forexample, the situational model 272 can be set without the pre-operatingsub-model, or be set to enter the pre-operating sub-model at 15 minutesor 30 minutes before the starting time, but not limited thereto. Afterentering the pre-operating sub-model, the controlling device 2 generatesthe control command based on the detection value and the one or moresetting parameter corresponding to the pre-operating sub-model of theselected situational model 272.

The purpose of the pre-operating sub-model is to let the circumstancegets ready in advance, and the circumstance condition can satisfy thedemand of the supervisor 6 before the starting time arrives. After thestep S18, the controlling device 2 continually determines if thestarting time arrives (step S20). If the starting time does not arrive,the controlling device 2 keeps working in the pre-operating sub-model.If the starting time arrives, the controlling device 2 enters theoperating sub-model of the selected situational model 272 (step S22).After the step S22, the controlling device 2 changes to apply the one ormore setting parameters corresponding to the operating sub-model of theselected situational model 272, and generates the control command by wayof calculating the detection value and the one or more settingparameters corresponding to the operating sub-model.

The purpose of the operating sub-model is to keep the circumstancecondition satisfied the demand of the supervisor 6 in a certain timeperiod set by the supervisor 6. For example, a quiet and comfortablecircumstance is needed in the meeting model, a high air exchange fordeliver indoor food smell is needed in the luncheon model, and thetemperature needs to be adjusted from low temperature become hightemperature in the midday-rest model. When entering the operatingsub-model, the controlling device 2 continually determines if the endingtime arrives (step S24), if no, the controlling device 2 keeps workingin the operating sub-model, and if yes, the controlling device 2 entersthe self-cleaning sub-model of the selected situational model 272 (stepS26). After the step S26, the controlling device 2 changes to apply theone or more setting parameters corresponding to the self-cleaningsub-model of the selected situational model 272, and generates thecontrol command by way of calculating the detection value and the one ormore setting parameters corresponding to the self-cleaning sub-model.

The purpose of the self-cleaning sub-model is to recover thecircumstance back to the status before usage, for example, to recoverthe temperature under standard or to clean up the indoor unpleasantsmell completely. The controlling device 2 then determines if a standbytime arrives, or if it is M minutes after the ending time (step S28). Ifyes following the step S28, the controlling device 2 operates thecontrolling system to shut down or enter the standby mode (step S30). Ifno following the step S28, the controlling device 2 keeps working in theself-cleaning sub-model.

FIG. 9 is a flowchart of the situational model of a second embodimentaccording to the present invention. FIG. 9 discloses a detailedflowchart according to the disclosure of FIG. 8. The controlling device2 firstly accepts the operation of the supervisor 6 for setting the oneor more setting parameters (step S40). In particularly, the controllingdevice 2 determines if the supervisor 6 selects one of the plurality ofsituational models 272 or not (step S42). If the supervisor 6 doesn'tselect anyone of the plurality of situational models 272, it representsthe setting parameters should be set by the supervisor 6 manually, sothe controlling device 2 provides a corresponding setting menu (notshown) via the HMI 25, and receives the one or more setting parametersmanually set by the supervisor 6 through the setting menu (step S44).Else, if any one of the plurality of situational models 272 is selectedby the supervisor 6, the controlling device 2 applies the one or moresetting parameters corresponding to the selected situational model 272directly.

It should be mentioned that a routine detection is executed by thedetection module 24 of the controlling device 2, and the plurality ofslave detection devices 3 also continually execute the detection andkeep an operative connection with the controlling device 2. Therefore,the controlling device 2 keeps receiving the detection value from thedetection module 24 and/or the plurality of slave detection devices 3 inanytime at anywhere.

In this embodiment, the controlling device 2 executes the algorithm 271to calculate the one or more setting parameters corresponding to theselected situational model 272 and generate the control command based ona calculating result, and the controlling device 2 transmits thegenerated control command to the wireless transmission controllingdevice 40 of the indoor electronic apparatus 4 to turn the indoorelectronic apparatus 4 on. Following the lapse of time, the controllingdevice 2 receives the detection value continually, and the algorithm 271updates the control command according to the setting parameters and thereceived detection value. The controlling device 2 transmits the updatedcontrol command to the wireless transmission controlling device 40 toadjust the working mode of the indoor electronic apparatus 4.

It should be mentioned is that more than one control commands with sameefficiency may be generated by the algorithm 271 after calculation. Inthis situation, the algorithm 271 will select a most economical one as apreferred control command, or selects a best sensitive one as thepreferred control command.

For instance, the controlling device 2 needs to turn on the indoor aircirculator 43 and raise the compressor operating frequency greatly of anair conditioner in the meanwhile for reducing indoor temperature to 25degree if only one indoor air circulator 43 is equipped, however, thecontrolling device 2 only needs to turn on all indoor air circulators 43to reach the same target without greatly raising the compressoroperating frequency of the air conditioner if five indoor aircirculators 43 are equipped. The algorithm 271 will select theeconomical one to generate the control command, and operate the indoorelectronic apparatus 4 to work in a corresponding mode based on thecontrol command. The controlling method in the present invention bringsat least three advantages at the same time: (1). satisfies the demand ofthe supervisor 6, (2). keeps the circumstance in a most comfortablestatus, and (3). works in a most economical result. Furthermore, thecontrolling method brings another advantage that doesn't need additionalmanual configuration by the supervisor 6 by way of the selection of thesituational models 272.

In FIG. 9, the controlling device 2 receives the setting of the startingtime and the ending time after the supervisor 6 completes selecting oneof the plurality of situational models 272 (step S46). At a specifictime before the starting time, the controlling device 2 enters thepre-operating sub-model of the selected situational model 272 (stepS48.)

After entering the pre-operating sub-model, the controlling device 2generates the control command based on the one or more settingparameters corresponding to the pre-operating sub-model, and turns onthe indoor electronic apparatus 4 through the control command (stepS50). For example, the control command may: (1). operates the indoor airconditioner 41 to turn on, to enter an air-conditioning mode, to set thetemperature to 27 degree, to set the airflow to high airflow, and toturn on cleaning function; (2). operates the HRV 42 to turn on, toswitch its operating mode based on CO2 quantity variation, and to setthe ventilation flow to low ventilation flow; (3). operates the indoorair circulator 43 to turn on, and to set the airflow to high airflow;(4). operates the air purifier 44 to turn on, and to set the operatingrate to middle operating rate.

During the pre-operating sub-model, the controlling device 2 continuallyreceives the detection value, and updated the control command based onthe detection value and the one or more setting parameters correspondingto the pre-operating sub-model, and adjusts the working mode of theindoor electronic apparatus 4 through the updated control command (stepS52). For example, the updated control command may: (1). adjusts thecompressor operating frequency based on the setting parameters, humidityvalue, temperature value, CO2 value, air dirty degree value and airflowvalue; (2). adjusts the operating mode and the airflow of the HRV 42based on the setting parameters, humidity value, temperature value andCO2 value; (3). adjusts the operating rate of the indoor air circulator43 based on the setting parameters, humidity value, temperature valueand airflow value; (4). adjusts the operating rate of the air purifier44 based on the setting parameters and air dirty degree value.

In the meanwhile, the controlling device 2 continually determines if thestarting time arrives or not (step S54). If the starting time does notarrive yet, back to the step S52 and updates the control commandcontinually. If the starting time arrives, the controlling device 2enters the operating sub-model of the selected situational model 272(step S56).

During the operating sub-model, the controlling device 2 continuallyreceives the detection value, and updates the control command based onthe detection value and the one or more setting parameters correspondingto the operating sub-model, and adjusts the working mode of the indoorelectronic apparatus 4 through the updated control command (step S58).For example, the controlling device 2 can adjust the airflow of theindoor electronic apparatus 4 from high airflow to low airflow forreducing the noise, or determine the activity of people based on thelighting value and the radiant heat value and then adjust the compressoroperating frequency according to the determined result.

In the meanwhile, the controlling device 2 continually determines if theending time arrives or not (step S60). If the ending time does notarrive yet, back to the step S58 and updates the control commandcontinually. If the ending time arrives, the controlling device 2 entersthe self-cleaning sub-model of the selected situational model 272 (stepS62).

During the self-cleaning sub-model, the controlling device 2 continuallyreceives the detection value, and updated the control command based onthe detection value and the one or more setting parameters correspondingto the self-cleaning sub-model, and adjusts the working mode of theindoor electronic apparatus 4 through the updated control command (stepS64). For example, the controlling device 2 can switch the working modeof the HRV 42 to clean up the indoor unpleasant smell quickly. In themeanwhile, the controlling device 2 continually determines if thestandby time arrives or not (step S66). If the standby time does notarrive yet, back to the step S64 and updates the control commandcontinually. If the standby time arrives, the controlling device 2enters the standby mode (step S68).

Theplurality of slave detection devices 3 and the detection module 24provide multiple detection value, such as temperature value V1, humidityvalue V2, CO2 value V3, lighting value V4, radiant heat value V5, airdirty degree value V6, airflow value V7, etc. Depending on differentamount and types of the indoor electronic apparatus 4, the algorithm 271generates the control command with different content, in thisembodiment, the control command mainly corresponds to a compressoroperating frequency F1, a HRV operating rate F2, an indoor aircirculator operating mode F3, an air purifier operating rate F4, etc.,but not limited thereto.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 10, the algorithm 271 calculates thecompressor operating frequency F1 based on the setting parameters S1,the temperature value V1, the humidity value V2, the CO2 value V3, thelighting value V4, the radiant heat value V5, the air dirty degree valueV6 and the airflow value V7, calculates the HRV operating rate F2 basedon the setting parameters S1, the temperature value V1, the humidityvalue V2 and the air dirty degree value V6, calculates the indoorcirculator operating mode F3 based on the setting parameters S1, thetemperature value V1, the humidity value V2, the CO2 value V3 and theairflow value V7, and calculates the air purifier operating rate F4based on the setting parameters S1, the lighting value V4, the radiantheat value V5 and the air dirty degree value V6. However, the abovedescription is just a preferred embodiment, not intended to limit thescope of the present invention.
